HoboNickels - HBN - High Fast Stake - Version 2.0! More Secure, Less Intensive

[Arsenay]

I would like to write a small simple program in VB that can query the HBN network to check for the current work difficulty. Is there an easy way to do that?

If you are running the hbn deamon you can use the rpc command getdifficulty. Otherwise you could try the CCE api call http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com/api

many need  crutches ))
for example:

1. cold start the daemon -> demon few minutes unresponsive rpc

2. no simple command - "staking work ?"
...

The demon may take a few minutes to start up. But if you are using it for something all the time you wouldn't shut it down.

getdifficutly shows both.


09:39:46

getdifficulty


09:39:46

{
"proof-of-work" : 24.06406389,
"proof-of-stake" : 0.00390625,
"search-interval" : 0
}

it is not something
and does not reflect the real state of the client with an outdated database

Well that is true, you have to be connected to the network to get the current difficulty.  But if you are running the client you should be up to date.

Fork is coded!

https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/commit/d677d58eb5f1fb7d0f07df7b10ede8bb832a8890

If anyone wants to take a look at this and give any comments or let me know if you think I missed something, that would be great.

I'll begin getting clients out there for people to use. We have until Jan 17 until it takes effect so lots of time. I'll begin sending alerts in late Nov early Dec.

Stay tuned.

You only need to do this if you are coming from version 1.4.0.0 or lower. If you use 1.4.0.1 or greater there is no need. It should be a simple exe change.

If you do need to do this. A downloaded block chain and index is available to help speed up the process.

Otherwise just remove the blk001.dat and txleveldb and re-download from peers. Or remove txleveldb and rename blk0001.dat to bootstrap.dat. This could also speed up the process.

Hi HBN fans!

I was surfing the web and found this site http://hoboninja.com/

So anyways i dropped them a email explaining a little about the advantages of crypto and HBN etc. It is a long shot but you never know, and it takes just a few minutes to tell them so why not?

It would mean good cross pr and social media bumps for both. The store faces nearly zero risk in it all. What do you guys think? If you like the idea maybe shoot them another email. "fast, fair, stable, no chargebacks, free promotion, etc"

Just upgraded to 1.5.0.0 - great work Tranz! Potential Stake - great addition but what Coin Age means?

Coin Age = days. After 10 days blocks are mature and then You can start to stake ...

I love this wallet in comparison to any others I have used. It is extremely descriptive.

1.5 introduces the 250 max stake right?  Friday night math doublecheck...we should make sure blocks are <10,000 so as to not hit the stake ceiling?

I noticed this "250" in OP...I thought that we been talking about 500?

[breakbeater]

I had yesterday a POS block of 507 hobos. So maybe the 500 or 250 limit will work after some checkpoint / fork ?
